''After the nabbing of SIMI workers at Indore and Ujjain, information was received about SIMI presence here. A local police team was sent to Indore for interrogating the workers,'' Superintendent of Police Makrand Deuskar said at a press conference this evening.

''The five were apprehended in Gohalpur area. Sarfaraz was found to be in possession of a Urdu letter written by SIMI's Abdullah from Mumbai. The missive makes it clear that the accused had links with SIMI workers jailed in Gujarat,'' the officer added.
